Cardinal Wiseman's Pastoral on the Birth of the Young Prince. The following pastoral, in which a thanksgiving on the birth of the young Prince is commanded, was read yesterday it all the Catholic chapels in the diocese of Westminster, by command of Cardi nal Wiseman _ " Nicholas, by the divine mercy, of the Holy Roman Church, of the title of St. Padentiana Cardi nal Priest, and Archbishop of Westminster. " To our dearly beloved brethren and children in Christ, the clergy secular and regular and Lhe faith ful of the said diocese, " Health and benediction in the Lord. " Dearly beloved in Christ, it has pleased Divine Providence to anticipate our prayers and desires by the birth, almost unexpected, of a child granted to the heir apparent of the Crown, and so destined in the order of nature to occupy, we hope at a yet distant period, the throne of this realm. "An interval of anxious suspense hos been thus cut short, while the assurance from day to day, that nothing has occurred to lessen the first joy of this event, has completed the happy inauguration of the new year. " To the continuance of heavenly favour which has hitherto protected them we fervently commend both mother and child. And we earnestly pray that Ho, who at this season would receive his birth day offerings, however regal, only from the hands of the wise, will infuse into the heart of the Royal infant that wisdom which Solomon 'preferred before kingdoms and thrones,' together with which ' all good things ' as well as ' innumerable riches' came into his possession.—(Wild. vii. 9.) " But we feel sure that, while praying for the speedy and complete restoration to health of the Princess Mother, that she may be 'as a fruitful vine on the sides of the Royal house' (Ps. cxxvii. 3), you will turn your thoughts and sympathies towards one still more august, who, after her, has here a larger claim than any oae else to maternal joys ; and who, after a long period of faithful mourning, may perhaps exclaim, as did Lamech on the birth of Noe, This child shall comfort us.'—(Gen. v. 22.) "Although so soon as these happy tidings of God's merciful dealings with the nation reached us we ordered that thanksgiving should be publicly offered up in our pro-cathedral, which was done on Sunday last, we feel els to be an occasion for a more general expression of gratitude, and therefore hereby enjoin : " That the Te Deum, with its versicles and prayers, be sung in every church and chapel under our jurisdiction, after high mass and at benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, on Sunday next, the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus. " Given in Westminster on the octave day of the Epiphany, one thousand eight hundred and sixty four, and ordered to be read at each mass on the said Sunday. " N., Card. WISEMAN.

We were apprised last evening by telegraph that the Duke of Athole expired at 2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, at Blair Castle, Perthshire.

THE LATE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. —A memorial stone of white Carrara marble, elaborately carved in the Gothic style, is about to be erected in Adding ton Church, Surrey, to perpetuate the memory of the late Archbishop of Canterbury. The stone bears the follow ing inscription—" To the memory of John Bird Sumner, D.

Tyrwhitt's promotion.—Army and Navy Gazettc THE HORSE-BREAKER.—Thoso who remember her beautiful seat, nerve, and hands, both in Rotten row and with the Queen's hounds, will bo grieved to hear of the death of the celebrated Miss Gilbert. Some years ago she had a very severe accident in the park; but although she gradually recovered from its effects, she was never quite the same again. She was among the very best of Mr. Rarey's pupils ; and her portrait, representing her by the side of a horse which she had just "put down,' formed the subject of a pleasant picture by Sir Edwin Landseer, in the Royal Academy, some four or five years ago. Except, perhaps, on very rough ground, when Mrs. Pitt was her superior, Mr. Davis thought he had seen no lady rider equal to hen—lllustrated London News. T.

The Paris papers publish the latest despatches exchanged between Mr. Murray, the English Minister in Dresden, and Baron von Beast, the Saxon President of the Council, upon the Schleswig- Holstein question MR. MURRAY TO BARON VON BEUST. Dresden, Jan. 5, 1864. I have the honour to inform your Excellency that I have just received a despatch from Earl Russell, in which he communicates to me the views of her Britannic Majesty's Government on the position of affairs in the duchy of Holstein. Her Majesty's Government be lieves that the most serious consequences might arise if the Federal troops should invade Schleswig before the Powers who signed the Treaty of London have been able to express their opinion on this matter. In the opinion of the English Government not only the resolution of the Federal Diet, but also justice, has been violated by the con duct of the Gorman troops in Holstein. " Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg must be made mutually responsible. Although I did not receive instruc tions to communicate the contents of this despatch to your Excellency, I nevertheless consider myself bound to do so, for if the Saxon Government feels inclined to take into account the advice of the Government of her Britannic Majesty in an affair which is of the highest importance for all Europe, there is no time to lose, as the progress of affairs in the Duchies is of such a nature that all the steps taken by the English Government to preserve peace between the German Confederation and Denmark might possibly be frustrated by the events of a single day. " Receive, &c., " CH. A. MURRAY." BARON VON BEUST'S REPLY. " I have just received the note with which you have this day favoured me, and hasten to reply to the same. You acquaint me therein with tho material contents of a despatch of Earl Russell, while adding that you have not received instructions to communicate it to me. 1 regret that you should, nevertheless, have thought fit to bring it to my knowledge, for you will recognise the necessity in which I find myself to point out those passages the offensive lan guage of which is only equalled by the levity (legerete) of the assertions, which even do not hesitate to assail the honour of our flag. "You observe that, in the opinion of the English Go vernment, the conduct of the German troops has not only violated the resolution of the Federal Diet, but also justice, and that Bavaria, Saxony, and Wurtemberg must be made mutually responsible.' This is the first time that I have heard the conduct of our troops in Holstein characterised in this manner. I might be tempted to require of you to bring forward facts in support of so daring an assertion. If I abstain from so doing it is because the conduct of the Federal troops in a country belonging to the Confederation, in whioh they are placed in consequence of a resolution of the Federal Diet, is a subject which in no degree whatever concerns a foreign Government. To desire to make the Governments of Baden and of Wurtemberg responsible, who have not even sent forces thither, is one proof more of ignorance of the affairs taking place in Germany. You acquaint me, finally, that if the troops of the Federa tion should invade Schleswig before the Powers who have signed the Treaty of London should have been able to ex press their opinion upon this matter, the most serious con sequences might result therefrom. "You are aware that the Federal Diet is upon the point of coming to a decision upon the propositions which have been laid before it in respect to the duchy of Schleswig. " The warning which the Government of her Majesty of Great Britain wishes to extend to us is well calculated to attract the attention of the King. His Majesty will not abstain from its most serious examination. You will per mit me however, to point out to you that no more efficacious means than the threat of force can be employed to cause a Government zealous for its honour and dignity to brave with calmness the consequences of a decision dictated by a feel ing of duty.—Receive, eco., " VON BEIIST." WRECK ON THE GOODWIN SANDS, RAMSGATE, Saturday. This afternoon the crew of the schooner Cluny (Beane, master) were landed here, the vessel having been wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. The Cluny was off and from Hartlepool, bound to Dieppe, with a cargo of over 300 tons of coals. She sailed on the 30th December, at six a,m., a fresh breeze blowing from the north and the water high Nothing particular occurred till this morning, when, at half-past six, the vessel struck on the Goodwin Sands, sprang a leak, and made water fast. Signals were made for assistance, and at about half-past seven the lugger Morning Star, of Ramsgate, went alongside, when the captain engaged to bring out the anchor, get the vessel off the sands, and take her into the nearest port, the amount agreed upon for services, if this were accom plished, being £240. In consequence of the heavy sea on, and the wind increasing, this was rendered impossible. Both pumps were kept at work until one o'clock, but still the vessel gradually filled, and at that time the water was up to the cabin deck. All hope of saving her was now despaired of, and the captain and crew resolved to abandon her. The signals of distress were observed here, and soon after the life boat was being towed out by the steam tug Aid, which arrived at the schooner shortly after ten, and laid by to render assistance if it was required. Upon resolving to abandon the vessel, five of the crew entered the lifeboat, and the captain and mate the lugger, in which they were safely landed hero at four o'clock. On landing the men were received by Mr. Whitmore, the hon. agent of the Shipwrecked Mariner's Association, who pro vided them with refreshments, and afterwards forwarded them to London by train. The crew succeeded in saving some of their things. THE FORM OF PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING FOR THE PRINCESS OF WALES'S SAFE DELIVERY OF A PRINCE, used at morning and evening service, after the General Thanksgiving, in all churches and chapels in Eng land and Wales, and in the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed, yesterday, the 17th day of January:—" Almighty and most merciful God, by whose gracious gift mankind is increased, we humbly thank Thee for that Thou hast vouchsafed to deliver Thy servant the Princess of Wales from the perils of childbirth, that Thou haat made her a joyful mother, and granted her the blessings of a son. May Thy watchful eye and fatherly hand still be over her ; support and comfort her iw the hours of weakness, and day by day renew her strength, that so she may arise and go forth to praise Thee in Thy church, and serve Thee in all good works to the glory of Thy holy name. Defend the infant Prince from every danger that may happen to the body. and from all evil that may assault and hurt the soul. Enrich him with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus, and as years advance may he increase in grace, in wisdom, and all Christian virtues. Look down, we pray Thee, with the favour that Thou bearest unto Thy people upon the Royal parents : fill them!with all heavenly benediction, that they may faith fully live and walk according to Thy will in this life pre sent, and may be parta k e rs of Thine everlasting glory in the life to come. Implant in the hearts of Thy people a deep sense of this, and of Thy manifold mercies to us as a church and nation, and give us grace to show forth our thankfulness by dutiful affection to our Sovereign, by brotherly love one towards another, and by constant obedi ence to Thy commandments : so that, passing through this life in Thy faith and fear, we may attain to Thy heavenly kingdom, through the merits and mediation of Thy blessed Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." The Imperial Court of 'Toulouse has just decided the case of Father Lacordaire's will. The deceased, who was a Dominican friar, and Director of the School of Soreze, had, in his last testament drawn up immediately before his death, instituted Father Mourey, of the same order, his universal legatee. A brother of the deceased at tacked the will as illegal, first because brother Mourey hav ing been Father Lacordaire's confessor could not inherit, and next because the property was in reality intended for the religious order of which both were members, which was contrary to law. The Tribunal of Castres annulled the will on the first ground , and Father Moure y appealed against t h e decision. The case was then taken before the Imperial C o urt of Toulouse, which has confirme d the judgment of the first judges. THE STOCK OF BULLION in the Bank of England has declined to £13,708,597.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice and Justices Blackburn Crompton, and Mellor.) IN THE MATTER OF AN ATTORNEY. Mr. M. Chambers had obtained a rule calling upon an attorney of this court to show cause why he should not be struck off the rolls for malpractices, and the rule having been set down in the preemptory paper for argument, it was called on this morning. Mr. Griffiths, on the part of the attorney, applied for postponement, as his client had been compelled to go to Brussels, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., felt he could not safely argue the case without the presence and assistance of the said attorney. Mr. M. Chambers had been informed of the application, and did not object. The Lord Chief Justice said the case had been placed in the peremptory papers and ought not to be postponed with • out good cause. Mr. Chambers said it struck him from the nature of the case and the allegations made in the affidavits that it must go before the Master, as it would be necessary in order to prove the allegations, to produce the Subpcena Book and Precipes of the Court of Exchequer. Mr. Griffiths objected to that, as he was of opinion that the matter could be argued before the court on ‘.he affi. davits. The books could be produced by the officer. The Lord Chief Justice said it was a most extraordinary case. Application was made to strike an attorney off the rolls. The case is put down in the peremptory paper, ard the attorney chooses to go away on other professional busi ness, leaving the rule to take its chance. If the case was postponed a day must be fixed, as it could not be allowed to stand over. After some discussion, the Court ordered the case to be postponed till Monday next peremptorily. IN THE MATTER 03 BRYANT AND 700 TE. Mr. Prideaux appeared to show cause against a rule ob tained by Mr. Keene to remit back a special case to the arbitrator on the ground that he had not sufficiently set the matter forward to prove the usage. The action was brought by a parishioner of Horton, Bucks, against the rector, Mr. Foote, for the refusal to marry him, and the question arose whether there was a custom that the rector should receive 10s. and the clerk 3s. for every marriage, it having been stated in some instances 13s. 6d. had been paid, The difference of the sum received, it was contended, invalidated the custom. The cause was tried, the jury could not agree, and ultimately the matter was referred to arbitration, and with the decision of the arbitrator fault was found. After some discussion the Court said the rule had better be made absolute, to remit the case back to the arbitrator. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (Before the Recorder.) SIX SPECIAL JURIXEN FINED £lO-IMPORTANT NOTICE. Considerable dissatisfaction has been recently expressed in consequence of the easy manner in which special jury men who have been fined at this court have obtained a remission of the fine upon making subsequently general or particular excuses. Those gentlemen who do serve com plain of this, and to-day when a special jury was called only eight answered. His Lordship ordered the others to be called seriatum, and he fined each absentee £lO, notifying that the amount would not be remitted, and the case was tried with only eight special jurymen. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) BOOKING OFFICES AND RAILWAY COMPANIES--WOODROW V. THE GREAT EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover for damage to a parcel. Mr. Ashley, of Charles-square, Hoxton, objected to the jurisdiction of this court, as the chief office of the Great Eastern Railway Company was in Shoreditch. Plaintiff stated that the parcel was delivered to a booking office in Fleet-street, and he called the keeper of the office, who produced a board headed " Great Eastern Railway Company." It was farther stated that the company's carts called at the office and collected all parcels, whereupon his Honour said that as the company did business in the City he must hold this court to have jurisdiction. Mr. Ashley—lf that is your Honour's decision I must submit, but I shall call upon the plaintiff to prove the damage. Plaintiff could do this, and the case was adjourned for evidence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE PROSTITUTE NUISANCE IN HYDE PABX.—Several wretched looking women, who nightly frequent Hyde Park for the purposes of prostitution, and whose oonduct is much complained of by persons having to cross the park on an evening, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt withdisorderly conduct in the park. Lloyd and Dauncey, two constables of the A division, proved seeing the women molest and annoy gentlemen crossing the park on Saturday and yesterday evening, and they then took them into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the officers said they had known some of the women as frequenters of the park for two or three years. One of the women said that what the constable had stated was too true, and that she did go into the park to get a living, but if she could get work she would net. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed some of the prisoners:for 14 days and others for seven says. One of the women seemed very happy at the result, as she left the court singing. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The country mtakets held on Saturday ruled inactive; nevertheless, prices were in most instances supported. Good and fine malting barley moved off freely, at extreme rates. Other articles ruled steady, at full currencies. On the continent the corn trade is steady, and prices rule firm. At New York a moderate business is doing in wheat and flour for export. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate.

The arrivals of wheat from Essex fresh up to this morn ing's market were small; but there was an increased show of produce from Kent on the stands. The general condition of the supply, notwithstanding tho dampness of the weather, was tolerably good. Both for red and white qualities the trade was in a sluggish state, and the prices realised exhi bited a decline of trout is to 2s, when compared with Mon day last. The market was by no means extensively supplied with foregn wheat. There was, however, no disposition on the Part of millers to effect purchases beyond their immediate requirements, and these were in many instances made at a decline in prices from Monday last of is per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were less active, and a fall of is per quarter took place in the value of wheat. Spring corn was steady in price. The supply of barley was moderately good. Good and fine malting parcels moved off steadily at full prices; otherwise, the barley trade was quiet, yet previous quota tions were supported. In malt, a fair average business was transacted, at full prices. The supply of oats was moderately large. Heated par sets were a dull inquiry, on rather easier terms ; but good and fine corn supported former prices, with a moderate in quiry. The trade for beans was steady, at late rates. The show of samples was moderate. Peas were in fair average request, and prices ruled firm. The flour trade was dull. The supply of barrels was very moderate ; but French qualities were offered somewhat freely.

The half-yearly meeting of the shareholders of this bank was held to-day—Mr. James Dickson in the chair. The report, which was unanimously adopted, stated that, after defraying the current charges of the bank, amounting, inclusive of directors' remuneration, and provision for bad and doubtful debts, to £4,620 9s 9d ; and deducting the sum ci £1,903 10s Sd for rebate of interest on bills discounted and not yet due, there remained an available balance of £9,613 15s 4d. The directors recommend that a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, for the six months ending 31st December, 1863, be declared, payable to the registered shareholders of the bank at that date, which will require the sum of £5,000; that the sum of £3,000 be appropriated to a reserve fund ; end that the balance, £1,613 16s 4d, be carried forward to credit of profit and loss new account. The Culinaux said, in moving the adoption of the re port that he ventured to hope that the shareholders would agree with him that the accounts presented were highly satisfactory. The gross profits realised during the last six months represented more than 60 per cent. over those of the preceding period. This gratifying circumstance was partly owing to the recent high value of money, but for all that the accounts testified to an increasing addi tion of current and deposit business. The chief feature in their history was their admission to the Clearing house, into which no young institution was allowed to enter till had taken permanent root in the confidence of the public. The directors had decided upon opening a branch at Pimlico, in the immediate neighbourhood of which no other banking establishment existed. The share holders expressed their satisfaction at the statement of the directors, and votes of thanks were passed in favour of the board and the managers.

FROM LONDON TO PEKIN IN A WEEK.—The electric telegraph now extends by way of Russin, to within 200 miles of Kiatchka, frontier emporium close to the Chinese empire, between which and Pekin, about 1,000 miles distant, there is a regular post established, so that now it would be quite possible to communicate with Pekin from London in a week, FATAL A C CIDENT.—On Wednesday evening last William Morrison, a lad of 16 years of age, em ployed as a porter at theWhiillet station on the Caledonian Railway, left his lodgings about 6 p.m. Nothing further was seen of him mail 20 minutes afterwards, when his body, torn to fragments, some of the pieces lying 30 yards apart, was found on the railway near Calder-bridge. It is supposed that Morrison's death was caused by his stepping off the "six-foot" while a mineral train was passing towards Glasgow, and getting run over by the limited mail, The engine-man of the later felt his engine give a jerk on passing Whiffiet, and on reaching Carstairs he examined his guards, upon one of which he found a piece of human flesh,—Scotsnian, THE LATE ALFRED DE VlGNY.—According to the Journal des Debate, Michel Levy is about to publish a volume of the posthumous works of Alfred de Vigny. The volume will consist of eleven poems, and will be entitled, " Les Destinees, Poemes Philosopbiques." WHY THE EMPRESS ASSURED HER LIFE.— It is quite true, as of late stated in the newspapers, that her Imperial Majesty has recently assured her life in five English offices for £BO,OOO, involving an annual charge in premiums of about £2,500; but the meritorious purpose of the act has yet to be stated, It is well known that the Empress was the foundress, and is, at this hour, the sole supporter of the following noble charitable insti tutions :—" Nielson Eugenie Napoleon," "frets de l'En fance au Travail," (better known as" La Societe du Princ Imperial,") and the " Caisse de Secours pour rArmee de Terre et de Mer." The Empress is very naturally appre hensive that these good works may materially suffer when ever death—that black camel, as the Arabs finely put it, which kneels at every man's gate—may call her hence, and, therefore, she has thus sought, through the in strumentality of life assurance, to permanently endow them. The Empress has named the Prince Imperial as her almoner, and at her demise it would become his sacred duty to administer the large fund thus created, and to take these merciful bodies under his fostering care. It is said that the Empress has also effected assurances for the same good end with several Belgian and German offices. On account of the greater risk to which the life of the Empress is reckoned to be exposed as compared with ordinary mortals—witness, for instance, t h e late horrible plot to assassinate the Emperor—increased rates of' premium have been charged by the contracting office !

Besides this, there were some personal matters on which Mr. Bright was expected to have something to say which would be listened to with no small curiosity. Much disappointment was therefore felt when it became known on Friday afternoon that a telegram had been received by the committeteatlp pointed to make the arrangements for the meeting,s, g that, in consequence of a sudden and very severe b ronc hial. ham next week.
